Hello, 

l'm back!

So I've been getting alot of inquiring about carb cycling and diet so here is my personal diet included. Everyone can give it a shot it's not just for advanced lifters, free for all although you might need to make some adjustments if you bigger then me, or smaller than me. But that can be done by just adding or subtracting a few ounces of protein and carbs to each meal. So I've dieted both ways, and this method has proven to be by far the most effective. I find that on a normal diet with set macros after a while the body gets used to it and you either need to manipulate the macros, subtract calories, or add more cardio and this will slow down your progress if you have to spend a few weeks trying to break past the plateau. With this type of diet the macros change every single day and the body never has a chance to adapt. I been using it for about 10 weeks now and haven't had to change a thing. Before i was using this diet i was busting my ass doing cardio fasted in the mornings 5 days a week along with being at the same total calories (2500) as my carb cycling diet, and I was losing fat much slower. After i started this diet i stopped doing cardio and the fat melted off quicker then i ever could have imagined. I had recently added cardio back in (for those who have read my other posts I do HIIT) but not because the diet wasn't working anymore, just because its crunch time and i only have a few weeks left to reach my goals as well as the overall health benefits of it. Another great thing about of this type of diet is you get the benefit of some really low carb days, but then a day or two later you jack them back up so you never suffer from the negative effects of a low carb diet. And if you structure you routine right you can have you big muscle groups like chest, back. and legs on the high carb days and the low days on small muscle groups such as shoulders and arms, and the very low days on your off days.
So here it is guys, feel free to ask any questions you have.

That's it!  Hope I can help some of you reach your goals faster and I haven't bored you to sin. 

 
You put a lot of thought into that one, my friend.  I'm not even a bodybuilder, and I've found helpful info in your writing - At 61 years old!  Well done.

 
Thanks guys and no problem, I'm really trying to cover all the bases. Also moving home was an

pain. Hardly any Internet and having to endlessly wait in for engineers to come. If it taken any longer I'd have been looking for a publisher. The diet isn't set in stone just like everything. But I've listed soooo many foods, days, macros that if someone really does want carb cycle with flavour it's there man..

Again, damn fine research, references, and writing.  Hell @Hammerblow, if you wrote a weekly column for a muscle rag I'd read it - Even in the knowledge that there's little of it I can apply, reading your work gives me a better idea of how all those rough bastards at JSOC South (Joint Special Operations Command for South America, now part of SOCOM (Special Operations Command)) built and maintained the muscle mass they did. Seems to me they simply wanted to badly enough even given the optempo of the each individual command.  I've seen a Special Forces medic, once released from formation, clean his weapon and equipment, eat a hefty portion of brown rice, drive to Kroger at 11PM to pick up an entire Rotisserie chicken, spend an hour and a half in the gym, then eat the entire chicken before going to sleep - And this was AFTER an 18 hour day.

Want to seems to be the key, as in so many other areas of life.
